    Totally! Quarantine has been a huge incentive for me to get better at the game. 

    Yup! Instead of going outside, I decided to locked myself on my room and play Long dark. When I'm bored, I also read some articles and I found this one https://offenderssolution.net/2020/09/25/how-mental-health-affects-your-childs-behavior/ this article is pretty good actually.

  2. Just saw this on a website that has a lot of positive reviews

    Poutine Gravy:

    • 3 Tbsp cornstarch
    • 2 Tbsp water
    • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
    • 1/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
    • 20 oz beef broth
    • 10 oz chicken broth
    • Pepper, to taste

    For Deep Fried Fries:

    • 2 lbs Russet potatoes ((3-4 medium potatoes))
    • Peanut or other frying oil

    Toppings:

    • 1 - 1 1/2 cups white cheddar cheese curds ((Or torn chunks of mozzarella cheese would be the closest substitution))

     

    INSTRUCTIONS

     

     

    • Prepare the gravy: In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and set aside.
    • In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook, stirring regularly, for about 5 minutes, until the mixture turns golden brown.
    • Add the beef and chicken broth and bring to a boil, stirring with a whisk. Stir in about HALF the cornstarch mixture and simmer for a minute or so. If you'd like your gravy thicker, add a more of the cornstarch mixture, in small increments, as needed, to thicken. Season with pepper. Taste and add additional salt, if necessary, to taste. Make ahead and re-warm or keep warm until your fries are ready.
    • For Deep-Fried Fries: Prepare your potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch thick sticks. Place into a large bowl and cover completely with cold water. Allow to stand at least one hour or several hours. When ready to cook, heat your oil in your deep fryer or large, wide, heavy cooking pot to 300° F.
    • Remove the potatoes from the water and place onto a sheet of paper towel. Blot to remove as much excess moisture as possible.
    • Add your fries to the 300°F oil and cook for 5-8 minutes, just until potatoes are starting to cook but are not yet browned. Remove potatoes from oil and scatter on a wire rack. Increase oil temperature to 375°F Once oil is heated to that temperature, return the potatoes to the fryer and cook until potatoes are golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined bowl.
    • To Prepare Poutine: Add your fried or baked fries to a large, clean bowl. Season lightly with salt while still warm. Add a ladle of hot poutine gravy to the bowl and using tongs, toss the fries in the gravy. Add more gravy, as needed to mostly coat the fries.
    • Add the cheese curds and toss with the hot fries and gravy. Serve with freshly ground pepper. Serve immediately.

    I think all around the globe people were thinking like this at some point - until it became their problem. Maybe the one good thing this will serve as is as a reminder that there are no more "not us" problems in a world as small and connected as ours, and it would serve us well to heed the warnings given by people who know their craft, and listen less to the ones whose only craft is talking.

    In any case .... the biggest of respects @Jimmy. Not sure I could do what you do. I know people from healthcare, but none of them is reporting things anywhere as worrysome as you do, and I hope that you get through these days safe and sound.

    Haha, there's always people who thinks like that, then panic when the problem is waiting at their doorstep.

    Hello community,

    The last six weeks have been pretty busy, with launching Episode Three on October 22nd, supporting our annual Four Days of Night Halloween event, and finalizing our next big Survival Mode update. We said we’d do our best to deliver you one more big update before the end of the year, and I’m here to tease out a bit more information about what to expect in December.

    The next update is called ERRANT PILGRIM, and it features some new stuff we’re pretty excited about:

    • A new region. This will be our first region to feature a two-part environmental puzzle of sorts — in order to unlock the region’s full potential, you’ll need to access it from two different locations. There’s a new area with several industrial buildings, and this region will be the first to feature Timberwolves in Survival Mode. Watch out!
    • A new challenge. We’ve taking inspiration from the community’s “Deadman” take on custom mode settings, and have created our own version as a standalone Challenge mode which, frankly, we think is the toughest experience we’ve ever made. Nobody in the office has been able to complete it yet. (Don’t worry, we’re exempting this new challenge from the Challenge Mastery achievement. We’re not monsters.)
    • New gameplay systems. Without getting into too much detail at the moment, we’re introducing a few new gear items, tools, and systems that should help make late-game survival a little more viable for most players. You might get a hint from the piece of concept art included in this dev diary.
    • New Feats. We haven’t shown the Feat system much love since we introduced it, so we’re adding three new Feats, to give you some gameplay objectives to work towards as handy new buffs for your Survival Mode games.
    • New Survival Mode music. 10+ more minutes of brand new music, from Survival mode soundtrack composer, Sascha Dikiciyan.
    • The Return of Fluffy. Hmm?
    • Did I mention Timberwolves in Survival Mode? Relax. They’re only in the new region. (For now.)

    There are some other tidbits here and there, some quality of life updates, and of course, lots of bug fixes. We hope this next update comes just in time for you to fire up The Long Dark over the cold winter holiday, when it’s best appreciated!

    You can expect the next Survival Mode update to land around the middle of December, depending on how long it takes us to get things optimized and the bugs cleaned up. We’ll launch it with our customary update video, fully narrated by yours truly. Should be fun.

    Keep an eye open on our social channels as we’ll likely share more tidbits about the update leading up to its launch. As usual, this will be a free update for all current owners of The Long Dark, on Steam (where the game happens to currently be on Sale), Xbox OnePlayStation 4, and the other platforms we’re currently available on. This might also be a good moment to remind you to nominate The Long Dark in the Labour of Love category in the 2019 Steam Awards.

    Thanks for reading, and look for more bits of info over the next couple of weeks!

    – Raph

    I get goosebumps here, thanks for posting this line.
